RobinAug 27, 2019nooooo don’t kill urself ur so sexy when u feel so unloved by ur mother that u stage elaborate fake suicides as desperate cries for help that she perpetually ignores aha
mia lee vicinoCmon I can't be the only one who did a little "wow" when Harold first spoke and his voice was way deeper than I thought it'd be

The millisecond shot of the numbers on Maude’s arm is one of the greatest shots of all time.
HersheyJun 21, 2016i can't believe wes anderson was able to direct this at the ripe young age of 2
mememilyMaude embraced life then embraced death. Harold embraced death then embraced life.

all this time i thought that actor was like 12 years old
BriannaAug 30, 201687/100 I think the final moments hit as hard as they do because Harold was never embracing reality before Maude's death. The loss of life freed constraints and personal imprisonments surrounding him, but each gesture, conversation, look, movement in the hospital is…
SilentDawnSep 15, 2020I have trouble articulating how much this movie means to me, but I’ll give it a shot... Why is a movie about a suicidal 20 year old falling in love with an eccentric old lady my favorite movie of all time? It’s because I think it captures both my fears and my dreams, and…

“The earth is my body my head is in the stars!” This movie was well done, the dark comedy was perfect, the cinematography was memorable, the soundtrack put it all together. They make such a pair, Maude is a riot. The age gap questionable but made sense for their characters. 8/10
Kareem likedHarold and Maude"A lot of people enjoy being dead, but they're not really dead, they're js backing away from life." Beautiful execution to my favourite themes of all time. I need a 2-hour talk session with Maude so bad ugh. Incredible soundtrack, lovely and heartwarming writing. 4/5
CvptvinHowdy lovedHarold and MaudeHarold falling in love with Maude kinda took me out of it, but despite that, I loved both of their characters, and the dark humor is surprising for the time and quite hilarious. The ending is a gut punch but also beautiful, so I'm glad I took the chance on this one.

One of the weirdest movies ever. But for some reason I can watch it over and over.
James New likedHarold and MaudeIncredibly dark comedy with two standout performances and well-crafted, interesting characters. The story has a wholesomeness to it despite the dark subject matter/ references at times. I wasn’t particularly a fan of what happens before the end, but how it does end I was a fan of
Emilia likedHarold and Maudethe age gap is weird. even as they are married, they are more like friends in my eyes. How apathetic can the mom be??? like your son has "killed" himself over 15 times and you just go, oh, I suppose you find this funny Harold, oh stop being silly. Like, huh??
- Matilda Lewis likedHarold and Maude
I rate it a 8/10. Cute movie and seeing the characters change and grow really made the movie for me. It’s not my kind of movie so eating it this high shows it’s a good movie. To add of the cinematography was amazing.
MovieDaddy likedHarold and MaudeThe lost unconventional romance movie of all-time. Quirky, dark-dry humor, this one isn’t for everyone, but most should be able to appreciate the characters. Painfully 70s in a good way.
Orlando Ramone lovedHarold and MaudeOne of my favorite Romantic Comedies ever! I describe this movie as a very young Tim Burton in love with an older woman who perfectly compliments his quirky personality.

Metacritic
Harold is death, Maude life, and they manage to make the two seem so similar that life's hardly worth the extra bother. The visual style makes everyone look fresh from the Wax Museum, and all the movie lacks is a lot of day-old gardenias and lilies and roses in the lobby, filling the place with a cloying sweet smell.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
As performers, they both are so aggressive, so creepy and off‐putting, that Harold and Maude are obviously made for each other, a point the movie itself refuses to recognize with a twist ending that betrays, I think, its life‐affirming pre tensions.
